My Profile

From road trips across the country to horseback riding in the wilderness of the Rockies, London-based American Kathy Arnold has been exploring the USA since childhood. An acknowledged expert on New England and Florida, frequent Essentially America contributor Kathy focuses on all-American experiences, from empty beaches and home-made ice cream to welcoming B&Bs and inns. The results are also published in national newspapers, magazines and popular guide books. A former BBC broadcaster, she has collected numerous awards, including the Visit USA Travel Writer of the Year award (2016) for her continued commitment to the USA travel industry. Still on her wish list? Cycling in the San Juan Islands of Washington State, hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and finding great cafés and pubs along the way!
